Chapter 004 Successful signing
Monday, August 22, 2016.
When Song Ming got up, it was already past eight o'clock. He first washed up, took a hot shower, changed into a dry dress, then heated up the breakfast left by his mother in the microwave, and then ate it with relish.
After Song Ming killed the breakfast, the hour hand was already pointing at nine o'clock.
He got into the room and turned on the computer, habitually logged in to QQ first, then clicked on the Internet, and logged in to the author's backstage. Before Song Ming could read the book's collection number, he was attracted by the sudden pop-up prompt, but new information came from the author's text box. Seeing this, Song Ming suddenly moved his heart and clicked on the author's text box.
Seeing this message, Song Ming couldn't help but curl up slightly, and finally an editor came over.
As an old book friend who has been living in the book for several years, Song Ming certainly knows a little bit about the review process of novels. No matter whether your work is well written or poorly written, when the number of words in the main text reaches 30,000, the review editor will carefully review it. If you think your work has commercial value or development potential, you will sign a contract with you, otherwise you will observe it again.
Undoubtedly, Song Ming’s works were favored by the editor, so I’m here to sign a contract with him!
Next, Song Ming did not waste time, and directly added the QQ signed and edited according to the information prompt. It only took more than ten seconds to facilitate his friend application. Perhaps it was because of the other party's working environment, the pace was very fast. He just passed Song Ming's friend application in the last second, and the next second, he sent two messages.
Xiaoyuer: Hello, I am Xiaoyuer, the contract editor of the Network (Content Management Department), responsible for the A-level signing.
Xiaoyuer: I'll sign your contract with Piaotian Silk Road Station or Publishing House). Are you interested in signing the contract?
Lanling Xiaoxiaosheng: Well, hello, all copyrights are here, you can sign it!
Seeing Song Ming's answer, the other party quickly passed two documents, one was the author's information form, and the other was the precautions for filling in the information form. After Song Ming received it, he opened it and found that it was a little painful. Because it was required to fill in the basic information of the author, such as the name, the pseudonym, the gender and ethnic ID number, the mobile phone number, the zip code, the residence address, the bank card number, the QQ number, etc. Song Ming scratched his head while looking at it, thinking that this thing was too tricky. He thought that any bank card number could be opened by anyone before. But after looking at the precautions for filling in the information form, he found that the author's name and bank card account opening name must be the same. I was really depressed. If I had known this, why would I ask Sister Jiongjiu to use her ID card to open a bank card yesterday? I might as well secretly use my dad or mom's ID card to ask Sister Jiongjiu to help me open it...
"After all, it's still a matter of age!" Song Ming sighed in his heart. If he became an adult, these are no longer problems.
Song Ming thought about it, but in the end he felt it was troublesome, so he simply filled in Sister Jiong Jiong's information. Fortunately, when I applied for a bank card yesterday, I used Sister Jiong's ID card to read it, and I still remember these basic information.
As for the contact number, Song Ming thought about it and then discussed with the contract editor, and said that he had no cell phone and had no phone number at home. Is it okay to just fill in a QQ number? After hearing this, the contract editor sent a few question marks, but Song Ming clearly said that there was no such thing as no, and there was nothing to do. After all, the mobile phone number was just for convenience of contact, and it was not necessary.
After a while, Song Ming filled out the information and then sent it back to the signing editor. A few minutes later, the signing editor sent several documents. In addition to a real contract, there was also a statement and an outline of the work, and some money-saving strategies for mailing the contract. At this point, Song Ming knew that the signing matter was settled, so he just waited for him to print out the contract and signed the name, and then mail it out.
Thanks to the signing editor, Song Ming uploaded the electronic contract to the QQ hard drive. There was no way, he didn't have the U disk.
After the contract was uploaded, I clicked on the web page and looked at the author's backstage. I found that there were 63 collections of the new book. I couldn't help but smiled, then turned off the computer, and prepared to go out to print the contract and mail it out.
Printing and mailing are both for money. Song Ming opened the drawer in the middle of the computer desk, and looked at the three 10 yuan denominations, a 5 yuan denomination and a few 1 yuan denominations lying there, and couldn't help but smile bitterly. Oh my, it's less than 40 yuan, and he was a little doubtful if it was enough to print the contract and the money for mailing it out?
...
At noon, the post office.
Song Ming walked out with a relaxed look. Just now, he finally mailed the contract out. It was really not easy! Fortunately, when he applied for a bank card yesterday, he was sweet enough, so he coaxed the aunt to help him copy two more of Sister Jiong Jiong's ID card. Otherwise, I really didn't know how to ask Sister Jiong Jiong for an ID card today.
After leaving the post office gate, Song Ming touched the only two dollars left in his pocket and couldn't help but sigh slightly. Depending on the situation, he could only walk back like this, because the two dollars could not even afford the starting price of a tricycle. I think he was born in the Ming Dynasty for decades. When did he lack such a vulgar "A Du" like money?
Fortunately, the post office was not very far from the old community of Song Ming’s family. After walking for more than ten minutes, we finally returned home.
"My clear, where have you been here? Just came back?" As soon as Song Ming opened the door, his mother's voice came.
Of course, Song Ming would not tell the truth, but just laughed and said, "I just went out for a walk." As he said that, he glanced at my mother who was just setting a dish of vegetables on the table. His eyes lit up and he asked with a smacking mouth: "Mom, I'm hungry, do you have to eat now?"
Wang Fengqin laughed and said, "You guy is back at the right time. You're just done. If you're hungry, hurry up and go to the room to call out your sister Xiaoqing for dinner."
Because Song Qing disliked the food at school that was not delicious, she went home to eat three meals a day.
"Okay!" Song Ming responded readily.
...
After dinner, it was naturally not Song Ming's turn to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, so he put down the dishes and then slipped to the room and turned on the computer.
After logging on QQ, he opened the website and logged in to the author's backend. The number of collections had changed from 63 to 87. Song Ming smiled dismissively. He knew that there was no official recommendation for the book at present, and he was not a qualified author, so he had no publicity channels, so it was normal that the collections did not increase much.
Think about it, except when I first uploaded it, I haven't followed the book review area, and I don't know if anyone has commented now? Song Ming opened the page of "The Promotion of the Ming Dynasty".
Total clicks: 1788, Member weekly clicks: 659, Total recommendations: 186, Total word count: 31546
Song Ming was quite satisfied when he saw this. No matter how awesome his predecessor was, he is just an ordinary newcomer and rookie writer on the Internet now.
After pulling down, Song Ming was stunned for a moment after seeing the book review area. Unlike the cold and deserted she imagined, the entire book review area was actually a little hot, which was really beyond his expectations.
As an author, whether it is a rookie or a high-ranking master, he will pay attention to the comments given by readers after reading the book. Of course, this refers to those serious and objective comments, and those readers who are specializing in finding fault are naturally exceptions.
Although Song Ming was quite confident in his writing skills, he also wanted to see what kind of comments these readers would give.
"This book will be popular, and the appraisal is completed!" - I am the novel appraisal emperor.
"The author's writing style is really good, and I admire it!" - A fan of historical novels.
"Why do you write about the Ming Dynasty instead of the Tang Dynasty? The Tang Dynasty can't afford to hurt you!" - Love the Tang Dynasty only.
"Wushan Yunyu's masterpiece "The Supreme Evil God in Another World" was released so shockingly, and you must not miss it!" - Love Xuantian Evil Master the most.
"I haven't read the book yet, any older brother and sister will help me try the poison. Thank you." - A nervous little book fan.
"The strong writing style and careful layout have attracted me in just over 30,000 words. Please update me!" - I am a floating white cloud.
Looking through the book reviews in the book review area, Song Ming couldn't help but smile. Fortunately, among the many comments, the majority of those who gave positive reviews accounted for, which was indeed good news for him. While he was looking through, suddenly, a popular book review that had been replied to dozens of times suddenly attracted Song Ming's attention...
"The author of this book is definitely a great vest. If the prediction goes wrong, I will make a mistake and make a letter to prove it!" - Just like a dreamer
Seeing this title, Song Ming scratched his head, then moved his mouse and clicked on the hottest post in the entire book review area.
In the post, this high-level VIP "like a dreamer" expressed his views and wrote more than a thousand words in a slew. Starting from the writing style of the book, the customs and customs of the Ming Dynasty and the occasional poetry involved, the post quotes classics and lists a lot of so-called "evidence", with only one meaning in the center, that is, such a profound work, which is absolutely impossible to write if it is not a historical master.
After reading the content of the post, Song Ming felt a little amused and cried, and then continued to look through the reply below the post.
Then, he was shocked...
Chapter completed!
